Amy Schumer's Response to the Barbie Casting Backlash Deserves a Round of Applause

Between her two Grammy nominations and possible new role as Barbie in an upcoming live-action film, life looks pretty good for the A-list comedian. But even between all the accomplishments and new gigs, Amy can't seem to escape her share of critics.

In a new Instagram post shared Tuesday afternoon, the actress reacted to all the exciting news in her life while also sharing a message to all the "trolls" providing unnecessary noise.

"Very very honored to be nominated for 2 Grammys and to be considered to play an important and evolving icon. Is it fat shaming if you know you're not fat and have zero shame in your game? I don't think so," she wrote. "I am strong and proud of how I live my life and say what I mean and fight for what I believe in and I have a blast doing it with the people I love. Where's the shame? It's not there. It's an illusion."

She continued, "When I look in the mirror I know who I am. I'm a great friend, sister, daughter and girlfriend. I'm a badass comic headlining arenas all over the world and making TV and movies and writing books where I lay it all out there and I'm fearless like you can be."

In her Instagram post, Amy also featured a throwback photo where she was seen wearing a blue one-piece bathing suit while on vacation with boyfriend Ben Hanisch.

At the time, the Comedy Central star slammed haters who criticized her beach body and proudly proclaimed that she looks "strong and healthy."

While the critics may stick around, so will Amy's quick wit and strong messages to her fans across the country.

And yes, she's more than happy to fight against the bullies both on and off the Internet.

"Thanks to everyone for the kind words and support and again my deepest sympathy goes out to the trolls who are in more pain than we will ever understand. I want to thank them for making it so evident that I am a great choice. It's that kind of response that let's you know something's wrong with our culture and we all need to work together to change it," she wrote. "Anyone who has ever been bullied or felt bad about yourself I am out there fighting for you, for us. And I want you to fight for yourself too!"

She added, "We need to laugh at the haters and sympathize with them. They can scream as loud as they want. We can't hear them because we are getting s--t done. I am proud to lead by example. ‘I say if I'm beautiful, I say if I'm strong. You will not determine my story. I will' #thegirlwiththelowerbacktattoo."
